I'm a wierdy muso because I tend to like EVERYTHING except for crap like Mr Blobby, oh and the crazy frog, which I vow to slap todeath with a shoe.


Anyway, I recently heard the track 'put a cap in yo ass' by Ben Watt featuring estelle. ( he being the guy from Everything but the Girl and latterly Texas and she being the down widdit girl from 1980 and I must say it has me captivated. I adore this song, and it went right on my pod!

I'VE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF IT!


I like all sorts of music too. I love classical but I also love jazz, blues, punk, rock - everything really but i don't much care for rap or house music or drum and base.


My fav sounds include Mozart, Rachmaninov, Elgar, Billy Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Elvis Costello, Clash, Boomtown Rats, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac (pre Stevie Nicks), The Animals, The Buzzcocks, Bob Dylan - loads of folky-type stuff and lots, lots more.

I've never heard of the crazy frog either, which I guess I should be thankful for?


Anyway, my taste in my music tends to be a lot like Oldspice's in that I enjoy a wide variety of styles - except very twangy country and operas. Bleh

If you go to that page, you can hear the crazy frog, it looks like a grey/blue thing.

Hmm, not impressed.  My tastes are also a little diverse - Bach, Vivaldi, Dvorak, AC/DC, Clash, Green Day, plus anything involving folk violin with a little reggae for good measure.

I've been listening to Irish music lately and I enjoy it very much. I also love brass band music. I love all music that sounds like music and I even saw McFly on Top of the Pops yesterday and thought how young they looked and how retro they sounded. I thought I'd gone back about 40 years! (Except for the grey hair, the wrinkles, the middle-aged spread, the fading eyesight, the caps on my teeth ......

Oooh, have you ever listened to any Eliza Carthy?


She is a modern day folk singer, and she is amazing. Most talented performer I have seen live.

My musical tastes include Heavy Metal, New Romantic, Dance Music, Hard Core Rave, Classical, Baroque, pre-Baroque and Early Music.

I detest Country and Western and most Jazz.

wtf is baroque?

Post by: on February 05, 2005, 01:23:11 pm
Baroque is music composed from around 1600 and 1750 so precedes Classical.  The hapsichord was used widely in the period.   I would call composers like the Scarlattis, Vivaldi, JS Bach and Handel typical composers of the Baroque period.  Pre-Baroque I would say is from around 1500 to 1600 ; Montiverdi being a classic example of the period in my view.

And all very good stuff.  I play baroque cello.  I share your hates too Bounty - the only jazz I don't mind is big band Glen Miller type stuff.

I am not sure whether Glen Miller can truly be considered Jazz as his music contains very little of the original blues-based characteristics of real Jazz. Miller "cleaned up" the sound so that it didn't sound so "negro" as it would have been termed at the time. However, he did create a very acceptable sound that I am happy to listen to along side real Jazz!!

Yes that's true of course but I haven't found any 'proper' jazz that I like much, so that's the nearest thing I get to it.

Must admit Jazz is a bit random for me too.

I think Glenn Miller was  more orchestral than typical Jazz and I too would not clasify him as Jazz.  Too me there are two streams of Jazz:  traditional like Chris Barber and Django Reinhardt (spelling?) and Big Band like Stan Kenton.  

I like none of it, although I do quite like Miller.
